Pentecost Sunday

Join us at 10:30 a.m. tommorrow as we celebrate Pentecost Sunday. On this Sunday we will share in the Pentecostal Declaration that states:

I believe the Holy Spirit is calling us to lay down doctrinal and practical differences so that the Church as a whole can begin to cry out as one voice for revival. On the Day of Pentecost, in the upper room they were in "one accord" We need to become one church. There is no Baptist stream, Assemblies of God stream, Nazarene stream, Presbyterian stream, Church of God stream, Catholic stream, Protestant stream. We can no longer be the Methodist stream or the Apostolic stream. We must let the streams of life we all represent become one mighty river flooding the lands with revival fire.

God is not as concerned with our theology as He is with our love for one another. We need to lay down things that are not important to salvation. IT doesn’t really matter whether or not you are pre-millennial, post-millennial or amillennial in your theology. It really doesn’t matter if you’ve rolled on the floor laughing in His presence, or you stand withhands lifted in awe of Him. The last thing John records in Revelation is this "The Spirit and the Bride say come..." It didn’tsay the Baptist bride or the Pentecostal bride or the Methodist bride, but simply the Bride.That means we MUST unite as one Bride crying out for the Return ofthe Lord.

I believe the Holy Spirit is calling us back to the original callingof the church: "Tell them that the kingdom is here." Bring health to the sick. Raise the dead. Touch the untouchables. Kick out the demons. What was God’s will then is God’s will NOW. NOW Faith is! NOW is the day of salvation. NOW we are to going to the marketplaces with the power of the Kingdom. Healing the sick, casting out demons,raising the dead, and saving the lost. The mantle that was released onto these men on the day of Pentecost is being released upon the church today. We have amandate from heaven to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom.

On this Sunday, we are the Church, we are the Bride, and we need to ask the Father to Baptize us with a new anointing to take the Gospel of Jesus that saves, heals, and delivers to the nations.

I believe the Holy Spirit is calling the Church to begin to walk in the bridal identity it is designed to walk in. The heart of the Fatheris passionate in love for humanity. The desire of his heart is for humanity to return that love to Him. I believe we as the Church need to ask Jesus to give us a revelation of the Bridegroom/ Bride relationship as He sees it.
